variegation. No reversions observed in 3 ft. plant.

Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii (Rehd.) Rehd. (C. giraldiana Schneid.) |
lv:
glabrous above, glandular and somewhat downy below - var.
bodinieri is pubescent on both surfaces.
infl: less pubescent tha var. bodinieri.
id: W.J. Bean says plants in Britain under C. giraldiana are
often closer to var. bodinieri in their vestiture.
aw: RHS FCC 1924
Callicarpa bodinieri 'Profusion' |
lc: bronze
to purple tinged new growth, semi-showy at best.
afc: purplish, sometimes a bit showy.

typical. Heavy fruit set occurs on younger plants too.
or: Holland
eval: this is the most widely cultivated clone of the species and
perhaps the mostly widely sold cultivar of all.
prop: said to come mostly true from seed - this is of course not
recommended.
